“The Ancestral Body"
A ritual dance-theatre workshop
Inspired by
Balinese theatre & masks
with
Allegra Ceccarelli
8th June 2025
10-1pm | Sadler’s Wells, London
The Ancestral Body is a workshop of ritual-performance that aims to reclaim ancestral tools for expanding the body and consciousness, to unlock participant's creativity and, thus, lead them to new ways of inventing and re-existing in the contemporary times of today.
The work is based on an original methodology created by the artist Allegra Ceccarelli. The roots lie in the concepts of traditional Balinese dance-theater, but the principles of the Balinese technique are investigated and reinvented to envision a new ancestral-futuristic relationship between sacred and contemporary art.
5 Rhythms
with
Gail Sixsmith
8th June 2025
2-3.30pm | Sadler’s Wells, London
5Rhythms is a dynamic improvised movement practice, pioneered by Gabrielle Roth. The practice takes the form of a ‘Wave’ which is music led, ending in Stillness. Much like Shavasana at the end of a vigorous Yoga practice, this Stillness can unlock a deeper level of conscious contemplation and holistic connection with Self.
There are many reasons to embrace a 5Rhythms session as it provides a space for personal creative expression whilst cultivating a deep sense of community. The journey is often cathartic as it sits in the spectrum of Ecstatic dance, where we can energetically cleanse and explore impulses that can ‘open up’ physical range and stimulate dormant aspects of our creative identity. That said, it is also just incredibly joyous to dance in a ‘free’ way, releasing endorphins
in the process.
Contact Improvisation
with
Rosalind Parker
8th June 2025
4-5.30pm | Sadler’s Wells, London
A playful exploration of the foundations of contact improvisation, designed to develop trust, presence and connection through shared movement. We will explore weight-sharing, responsive touch and improvised partnering to unlock spontaneity, deepen ensemble awareness and to catalyse revelations that can transfer into the devising performer's arena.
Butoh and the Resonant Moment
with
with Marie Gabrielle Roti
13th July 2025
2-5pm | Sadler’s Wells, London
This workshop explores the way Butoh intensifies each moment of movement. Nothing is thrown away, everything becomes alert, intense and felt. We will explore simple methods to encourage this state of listening to the moment, deepening the movement response and acting as a conduit for being moved and danced. Time becomes elastic, space becomes resonant, and the inner life of the body can flow and take form.
